Seat Bid Object

Formally there can be multiple bids within the Seat Bid object for two reasons.

  • There can be several slots in each bid request.

  • There can be more than one bid for a single slot.

The MediaGrid allows no more than two bids for a single ad slot. Bids belonging to the same seat must be in the same seatbid.bid array, i.e. all seatbid.seat values must be unique per response.

Note

Fields marked with asterisk (*) are optional.
